Can miles truly separate you from friends... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?
Love is a friendship set to music.
Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom - and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech.
Love is rarer than genius itself. And friendship is rarer than love.
If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.
In the end we retain from our studies only that which we practically apply.
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.
All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon the sand.
Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command.
